Four-panel expanding-brain meme. A plain grey circle brain labeled retry(). A glowing blue brain labeled retry() with exponential backoff. A larger glowing purple brain labeled retry() with exponential backoff and jitter. A radiant gold brain labeled it was a 404, it was always going to be a 404.

Smooth brain: retry(). Neurons firing: retry() with exponential backoff. Galaxy brain: retry() with exponential backoff and jitter. Ascended: it was a 404. it was always going to be a 404.
